I bought my first (used) boat last year, and have been fishing it since then. This evening while getting ready for Saturday fishing, I noticed that the boat # that is painted on the hull does not match the # on the sticker( it is an '03 sticker). Is my rig legal?

Printing companies make nice license number strips I've always used. They are one long adhesive strip and can be made the size and color you need. Looks much nicer than individual letters/numbers or paint.

What's the best way to get old numbers off? I bought a boat this year that needed the new sticker and I noticed that the numbers are now different. The boat was custom painted and I'd hate to wreck that. Any help would be much appreciated.

If your boat numbers starts with MN and ends with DD (eg. MN 1234 DD) that's a dealer #, it's used to show/demonstrate boats before sale. You will need same letters/numbers as your DNR registration sticker.Anything with DD at the end has to be used from a registered dealer.

The "park switch" may be the cause of the parasitic draw on some of the console equipped models,
it's an inexpensive switch that sends a shutdown signal to the BCM. When it goes bad the dash lights do not shut off and it drains the battery.
Fords fix is to replace the whole shifter assembly at around $650.00, they do not sell just the switch.
Here is the replacement switch with an more detailed explanation of why it happens.

After starting out the winter with a lack of snow February is making up for it. Earlier in the week the southern half of the state received 4 to 6 inches of snow and in the last couple of days the north and northwest received from 4 to 8 inches of snow.Snowmobile trails are now open in most, but not all, counties across the state with conditions rated as good or excellent in many counties on the Wisconsin Department of Tourism's Snow Conditions Report (exit DNR). Many state properties were regrooming cross-country ski trails and ski trail conditions ranged from good to excellent. Some freezing rain fell in the south after the snow, resulting in some icy conditions in some locations. Temperatures are expected to warm this weekend, especially in the south where more rain is also in the forecast, while the north is expected to get more snow.With all the recent snow, conditions should be excellent for the American Birkebeiner Ski Race this weekend in the Hayward-Cable area. It is the largest ski race in North America and attracts thousands of skiers from all over the country and world -- skiers from 49 states and 36 countries participated in 2018 -- and draws tens of thousands of spectators to the area.

......The 6 packages from the first round are long-gone, so I am brining up another batch. Ended up buying an entire case of butts (@ $1.18 per #) from Sams. I am going to do 3 butts - one with High Mtn buckboard seasoning and two with another dry brine consisting of Tenderquick, brown sugar, garlic salt, and black pepper. I always like getting to the raw ingredients of spices versus relying on someones "magic rub". If it goes badly I will revert back to the HM cure. As an added note, I also picked up a $20 loin that I put HM cure on to experiment with some Canadian bacon.... Will check back in 10 days or so!
